I, for some reason, waited until Thanksgiving Day to write this column, the reason being I was considering whether I should be thankful or not.

On one hand, I have a partner who has never wavered in her support for our marriage, three great kids and six good grandchildren. On the other hand, I live in a world of hate and greed. At the bottom of the hateful portion is religion and prejudice, and greed is evidenced by corporate callousness concentrated in the financial sector of our economy. This is offset somewhat by the amount of giving by the middle income sector of the nation.
